Theory that Tom Cruise wore a fake butt in a 2008 Valkyrie scene

hello, please, i present the theory that for one single shot in Valkyrie (2008), at 5:12, tom cruise wears a fake butt. observe:

This meme is made of two parts: top text introducing an absurdly specific pop culture theory, followed by a screenshot from the 2008 war film Valkyrie as supposed evidence. The text claims that at the 5:12 timestamp of the movie, lead actor Tom Cruise wears fake butt padding for that single shot. The image below shows Tom Cruise's character in a tan military uniform, bent over on sandy, war-torn ground with his back to the camera, making his posterior appear unnaturally rounded and prominent to support the stated theory. The humor comes from the conspiratorial, overly serious tone applied to a completely trivial, irrelevant detail of a mainstream feature film.

This meme was shared as part of the 1575th entry of the series 'Posting memes I found on my smartphone until I get bored or die' published on 9Gag, sourced via the platform's RSS feed. The underlying visual is an unedited screenshot from the 2008 film Valkyrie, with the humorous text overlay added by an unknown internet user to create the meme. The niche joke about Tom Cruise wearing fake butt padding in Valkyrie has circulated as a small pop culture talking point online for several years before this 9Gag repost.
